LITERATURE. KENYON'S POEMS. Moxon, London, 1838. All that grace and skill, and a well-trained and...accom plished intellect can do, Mr. Kenyon has done, and success fully, for the poems in the volume before us ; but the inner sense, as it were, of poetry is wanting ; we miss—what Wordsworth so justly calls—the " vision and the faculty divine." These are things not to be acquired ; they are the free, spontaneous g ifts of nature, the absence of which no art, and no reach of observation, however comprehen sive, can adequately supply. Yet very pleasing and popular poems have often been written by men who bad merely skill in versification, combined with an elegant and lettered mind, to recommend them—such, for instance as Wharton, Hayley, Langhorne, Leyden, and many of the minor poets of the last century, who still survive in scraps and fragments inserted in poetic miscellanies. Mr. Kenyon is one of this class of writers, as will be seen by an extract, which we subjoin, from his lines entitled " Moonlight," which are nearly, if not quite, as good as any passage in Wharton's " Pleasures of Melancholy" : " Nor seldom did I win from thy sweet light A more creative and less pensive joy, Such joy as kindly Fancy oft will weave For childhood; kindlier still, if she desert not Our after years. 'Twas when dim-floating clouds Were hung in the still West, and there had hung From hour of parted twilight. They had watched The sinking sun's last glory, and caught thence, Around his golden garment clustering, A passing radiance not their own ; but now Tho' rayless, hueless, still they lingered here, As in persisting love (so spirits, they say, Will linger round loved spots) nor lingered here In vain; for thou didst bring a second day Less bright than his, but not less beautiful, Sun of the Midnight ! Then those pallid clouds, Each in its turn by soft light lit up, Grew to a living dream-land." COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. Mr. ANDERSON'S " loN."—Last night the hero of Mr. Tallourd's very beautiful and poetic play was allotted to Mr Anderson. The debut of Mr. Anderson, at the commencement of last season, as Florizel, in The Winter's Tale, could not (from the limited capabilities of the character) make a very strong impression ; but it made a very favourable one. His figure and voice at once marked him out for " young tra gedy," and gave promise of the impressive and energetic Romeo which we have since beheld. There were symptoms, too, of that skill in double expression which afterwards en hanced the effect of the first scene of his Edgar, of the last scene of his Tuilus Aufidius, and, by a yet higher degree of re finement in Count Ulric, rendered so forcible the final outbreak of his fierce sincerity as to make every heart feel that it might well be the father's death-stroke. There might be some twinkling of his peculiar humour—we only noted that af terwards, and (to pass over sundry characters of a de cidedly comic caste) a very genuine humour it is, especially as it appears in the beautiful blending of an uncontrollable sense of the ridiculous with true and deep feeling in the mock courtship of Rosalind by Orlando. The most ob vious fault of Mr. Anderson is the frequent sing-song of his recitation of blank verse ; but last night it was dis- tinguished by en e r g y, at times approximating to stern ness ; it wanted simplicity, unconsciousness, dreaminess. In a few instances he seemed to us not to give the exact meaning of the author; as, for instance, in the question, " Was not that thunder ?" lon is not startled at a sup posed external noise ; he believes that he hears the peal by which the gods testified their accordance to prayer; he merely asks his confederates for confirmation. In other cases the effect was deteriorated by the mode of recitation to which we have adverted. But our preliminary notice of these blemishes is scarcely just to a performance of so much merit. The first scene with Adrastus was played with touching sweetness, and full effect was given in the last scene of the play to the patriotic admonitions to the soldiers and the Argive people. And the death was a noble picture of a youthful hero, perishing, a self-sacrificed and self-satisfied victim to the offended deities, whom he knows to be thereby propitiated. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1838. oh !") So much for the liberal Common Council : it was to them he directed his observations, for they pretended to be liberal, while the Aldermen told the citizens openly that they would spend their money as long as they could.— (Hear, hear.) By the aid of that Society he hoped soon, however, to see the citizens protected by a Reform and an honest Corporation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SAUL was convinced that they ought to speak in a different manner from what they had done next St. Tho mas's-day. Mr. ELLIOTT---About nine years ago the new police was introduced by Sir Robert Peel, for the whole of the metropolis, excepting that central spot called the city of London, which was omitted out. of respect to the (as the sequel shows, undeserved) confidence placed in the pledges given by the leaders of the corporate jobocrats, that they would forthwith model their own police on the plan of the metropolitan one. During nine years this subject was battled in the Council, and always lost. In the mean time the House of Commons collected and published astounding evidence of the vices of the city plan. Yet, in the face of this, no step was made towards an improvement. The physical efficiency of their force was questioned : they were challenged to exhibit their men in Guildhall. They promised to do so, but at last very pru dently declined on the day of trial. Again and again was the inefficiency of the system shown up—again and again was it shown that the citizens lost annually not less than 20,0001. in useless expense ; and it was only at the early part of this year that Lord John Russell, tired out by their shuffling and delay, intimated that he should effect the consolidation himself, that they drew up a scheme for their city police, at the head of which were to be upwards of 80 commissioners, composed of the very men who had thus outraged the confidence reposed in them by their fellow-citizens, and wasted their money. They pestered Lord John with their deputations, and would then have agreed to anything ; when eighty jobbers were too many, forty, thirty, twenty, two, and at last one, would be thankfully accepted. Yes, such a notion of transacting business had these corporators that they seriously pro posed to manage the police of 120,000 persons by a mob of eighty-seven irresponsible unqualified jobocrats, while the rest of the metropolis, consisting of thirteen times the population, was managed by two gentlemen, paid, and responsible to the rate-payers for all their acts ! During this time a Committee was sitting, who recommended the consolidation of the whole force, and at last Lord John told the corporators that he must abide by its recommendation. The Session was closed, nothing was done, and the ward worthies and their watchmen went to sleep together. But up started this Association, fired off one shot of truth before the astonished eyes of the much-abused citizens, 'and the corporators instanter ran off (as was stated last evening by Mr. Wells) to Mr. Ryland, one of their law officers, and said, " Sir, you must draw a Bill for the immediate amalgamation of the City Police." Mr. Ryland protested that such could not be done without an Act of Parliament, and that the rate could not be legally collected : nevertheless it was done, and passed in crowded Court, where, however, not one of their law officers was present.—(Hear, hear.) Now, in defence of the system, some statements had been put put forth by Mr. Alderman Venables and Sir Peter Laurie. But the assertions made by the corporators are utterly andA itt worthless : they k eep no accounts, t h ey h ave no c l ass ifi e d records to s h ow , th ey pu bli s h nothing in The Hue and Cry Policeloeftrcorpimo m etro polit an tGazette,iann t he although police C i have t City presenti p m u p b o al s t ae n gd e aotfvo maidene do ry so u l r l ihyne. T re T The records d ns cu riousp is v e a rnyd easy highly r people instructive to classified table the leof crimes offen in offences. It say how wfew are the city when no records are kept.—(Hear, hear.) These people, therefore, either by design or stupidity, have ren dered the moral history of the country defective ; they have suppressed its most valuable and instructive page ; and then, keeping back most culpably the facts, they say there is no crime at all. Now, Sir Peter Laurie, also, has made statements which I would not notice were it not necessary that the public should learn the value of state ments coming from that sagacious authority. Sir Peter, in a speech which is said to have been delivered at a recent wardmote, instituted a comparison between the cost of the old watch in Marylebone parish of 9,000/., and the cost of the new police in the same parish of 20,000/. (not 26,000/., as stated by Sir Peter) ; and he tells his constituents that if the new system cost so much more than double the old, how much more will they be taxed if the metropolitan police be introduced into the city. Now, this comparison is very unfortunate for the cause of the corporators ; for if the parish of Marylebone, which con tains a larger population and more houses, and two• and a-half times the area (a most important item in police), cost 9,0001. per annum under the old watch system, how grievously have been the citizen's pillaged, whose old watch system cost them alone 36,0001. The fair ground of com parison is between the city with its imperfect system, which costs 50,0001. per annum altogether, and Marylebone with is improved system, which costs only 20,0001., two-and-a half times less. The poor privileged citizens of London suffer double evil ; the) pay for the worst of articles more than double the amount paid by other people for the best. Yet this valiant knight—and valiant indeed, must he be to do it—intimates that the new police will be more expensive than the old, in the face of public documents to which ho must have access, in the face of calculations which have been made over and over aga in, in which it is stated that the metropolitan police will be managed for 25,0001. less than the corporat o rs exact, and in the face, too, of their , of it which is thrown as a sop to own imperfect imitation their indignant constituents against St. Thomas's-day, that 13,000/. per annum is to be saved ; thus upon their own figures 130,000/. of tr easure has been worse than w asted , asum of money which, if rightly applied would have s upplied many t hin g s the city much wants. In th e s a me speech Sir Peter Laurie said that I had recommended stipendiary Magistrates for the city to prevent wa r d depu ties making a p rofit out of the watch-rate. Now, people will be astonished to find that I said no such nonsense as this, but that on reference to the volume I recommend them to purchase sonic statements are made about the practices of ward deputies which it is as well should be sto and then some pages further on I recommend pped, " responsible," not a word about " stipendiary," Magis trates, and entirely without connection with the matter o f the deputies of the ward. Responsible m en i ns t ea d o f the present incompetent responsible men, who l ea p f rom the shopboard into the Magistrate's chair, jump thence u p on the judicial together in seat, and jumble facts and eviden ce in a manner fatal to justice. — ( Hear, hear, hear.) Many well-intentioned persons entertain constitutional scruples res p e cting the con solidation of the whole p o li ce f orce. On a future occa sion I shall try to obviate these scruples, and to show that there is no other means by which the police force can be rendered efficient against thieves and disorderly means by which enormous sums, i n th e persons--no other P shape of taxation, can be saved to the rate-payers ; a n d that it will be the duty of every citizen of London, and of every inhabitant of the metropolis, to aid the Minister in effecting an improvement which has been too long delayed, and which has been opposed by the jobbers of the Corpo ration with no other view but their own pecuniary ad vantage and influence in furtherance of what they have for years sacrificed, the best interests of their constitu ents.—( Hear.) Mr. WELLS observed that they were approaching St. Thomas's -day, and he thought that th en they ought to endeavour to have new blood infused into the Corporation. He bad as an inducement to the citizens to bestir them selves always heard with pleasure the statements of their Chairman. He thought they ought to take into considera tion the consolidated police, the sewers, bridge, and other rates, and the conduct of those who would be seekinr , their suffrages on St. Thomas's-day. He could show that the Common Council did not know how to make up their own accounts.—( Hear, h ear .) F or i nstance, there as a charge for wheat, and there was no account afterwards ' of given what use wa • s made of this wheat, nor how much flour or bread was made from it. What did all this lead to but false balances . v . He had on a former occasion remarked that a coat and waistcoat each were given to her Majesty's Ministers, In former times the Lord Chancellor and others were entitled to 4/. worth of cloth ; that was four yards of cloth at I/. a yard ; but how did it happen that the Corporation gave the Ministers more than what they were entitled to ?—( Hear and laughter.) In good old times what had the Lord Mayor ? He had for wine 80/., markets 100/., for his house 501., and for his dinner 501 . and some o ther trifling items— ma ki ng in all 5451. But what was it a new Lord Mayor cost? Why, they would go down on theirknees and pray for an old Lord Mayor. The Learned Speakerhere read a long list of items, making in all, as the income of the Lord Mayor, 7,9971. This was independent of other expenses. Amongst all these enormous charges, one of the most shameful was making Portuguese and Dutch Jews pay 501. to the Lord Mayor because they happened to have synagogues in the City.—(Hear.) But he had another point to refer to : it was connected with the tail of the Corporation —the hall-keeper—for he did not know that there was any office lower. The hall-keeper was paid 7,0001. for police and watch. He supposed it was all duly disbursed, but he wished to know, first, did the hall-keeper give security ? ana next, had they not a Chamberlain to do his duty ? But then he received 320/., and, with his assistants, altogether 6001. Then there were payments of 200/., 400/., 200/., 1001., in all 1,000/. paid to Mr. Tem ple for committees. This, he said, was a horrid system— ( Hear, hear.) What better right had committees of Com mon Council to be paid than the committees of the Corn, mons ? They voted this money to themselves.—(Hear ; hear, heqr.) His astonishtnent ‘vo,s that the Society had not been estalifiShed before now ; bat they could expect to do little pod 'whila . there was an arbitrary system of rating. It was that arbitrary system which pre vented thousands from coming forward, Many a poor fellow knew that. he would be punished in his rating if he dared to appear iii this Society.—(Hear.) But he had IRELAND. " Agitation" proceeds. The Pilot of Friday furnishes ample evidence of the fact, for it reports the proceedings of meetings at Galway, Ennis, Limerick, &c. In the North also meetings have been held. The ilall,: in the pitiful spirit which characterizes all its lucubrations, spitefully speaks of the great festival at Galway as a grand grubbery. " The Rooks have had a grand Grubber!' at Galway (says our polite paragraphist). Thither the Hierarchs mustered in unusual numbers, and with unwonted stateliness. Apart and separate, like the grand seraphic Lords of all,' in Milton's Pandemonium, the Graces, and their Lords suffragan, both lay and cleri cal, accompanied by Mr. O'Connell, sat at a table provided for themselves ; whilst the subjects and the vulgar laity— the serfs and heritage of the Church—were placed at dis tinct and inferior tables, and suffered to scramble, as best they might, for a share of the good things a-going." The Lord Lieutenant has been visiting Kilkenny, where, as well as at Castlecomer, an Address was presented to his Excellency. We regret to announce the demise of Sir John Hay, Bart., of Haystoun, late M.P. for the county of Peebles, at Rome, on the Ist instant. The Hon. Baronet was in his 50th year, and retired from Parliament at the last election. Sir John Hay was collaterally related to the family of the Marquis of Tweeddale, being descended from the Hon. John Hay, second son of John, third Lord. Mr. Sergeant Arabin, the Deputy Judge Advocate, will perform the duties of Judge Advocate till a successor to the late Right Hon. R. Cutlar Fergusson shall be nominated. ------ It appears that Lord John Russell has no present intention to appoint a Police Magistrate in the room of the late Mr. Rogers, as an arrangement has been made with the Magistrates of the Queen-square Police Office to as sist in the duties of the Hatton-garden office. Signor L. Martini, the celebra . ed accordion player, has arrived in London, after a successful tour on the Con tinent. There were at the beginning of the present year 12,431 post-offices in the United States. In 1790 there wereonly 1,875. _ _ _ At a numerous meeting of the board of guardians of the Wilton Union, held on Monday last, it was resolved forthwith to increase the amount of out-door relief at pre sent afforded to the poor of that union, in conseqeence of ' the high price of bread. POST-OFFICE SAGACITY.—The charge for con veying a single letter from Liverpool to Manchester is 7d. If a letter should contain a couple of bills it will be charged Is. 9d., though its weight is no more than a quarter of an ounce. This is the tariff, though hundreds of people are performing the journey back and forward at all times of the day, and the time occupied in going from one place to the other occupies only 90 minutes. Can any one be surprised that the revenue of the Post-office stands still, notwith standing the enormous increase of business in the country, when no notice is taken of circumstances by the Post-office ? Can any one believe that the Liverpool people will not take advantage of the traffic between their town and Manchester to avoid paying Is. 9d. for the carriage of a quarter of an ounce? It is downright stupidity to charge more than 2d. —Morning Post. CROWLAN D.—On the occasion of a charity sermon recently preached in the Abbey at this place, the re spectable body of Dissenters closed the doors of their chapel, and betook themselves to join the congregation of the Church ; an instance of truly Christian liberality which in these days of sectarian bitterness, we fear, is sel dom to be met with.—Lincoln Mercury. THE ALLEGED CASE OF SUFFOCATION IN THE CITY.—The inquiry was resumed yesterday touching the death of James Frickey, who was found dead in St. ' Michael's Church, Cornhill, under circumstances which led to a suspicion that he had been suffocated by the va pour arising from a newly invented stove. The evidence adduced yesterday went to show the harmlessness of the stove in question. In order to test its propertie s satisfac torily, the same stove was, by permission of the coroner, placed in the church at five o'clock yesterday morning, and having been lighted the doors of the edifice were kept per fectly closed till four o'clock in the afternoon, when Messrs. Cooper and Brande, the well-known professors of chemis try, and Dr. Golding Bird, lecturer at Guy's Hos pital, entered for the purpose of making experiments upon the quality of the atmosphere. The result of their inquiries may be briefly stated as follows : The quantity of carbonic acid gas thrown out by the stove at full heat never exeeds one per cent., and the church con tains about 100,000 cubic feet of atmospheric air. The quantity of charcoal which the stove contained at the time of lighting on Saturday night was 491b5., so that had it been possible that it anal!l have been all consumed in a moment it would not have vitiat6d the atmosphere of the church one and a half per cent. Mr. Cooper stated that he had frequently toung as much as four per cent. of the noxious gas in the crovvdetl gialeritas of theatres and chapels. Ten per mit would throw a person into a comatose state, and about tweivc per cent would destroy life. None of the three gentleman had experienced any ill effects upon their resuiration when they Aotered the church. They had collected air from all parts of the aut.,* and it did not co tarn more than one and a half . per cent. of the noxious gas at any pla.ce. After bearing a vaiety of evidence from persons who had useti the q. - .OYe with per feet safety.

The lectures on " Dramatic effects in Music," at - the Mechanics' Institution, Athenaeum, and Royal Institution, by T. Philipps, Esq., of London, originally announced for last week, commenced on Monday. The lecture theatres of the institutions were crowded to excess every evening. In opening his lectures, Mr. Philipps observed that of all sciences music was the one most calculated for the exhi bition of its elementary principles, and the subject of his present lectures the best adapted for inducing the culti vation and improvement of the vocal music of the Church, the chamber, and the theatre; for the practice of the adept of the greatest acquirements, as well as for the merest novice. At tha present moment the demand for the right cultivation of vocal music was unprecedentedlygreat, and by a strange fatality never was that demand so inefficient]; supplied. His object, intention, and endeavours, through . - out these lectures, would be all directed to one pur pose, the application and general adaptation of the grand, though simple, principle derived from the elements of rhetoric, for the intelligible and just enunciation of the words in the composition, and the correct performance of vocal music in every class, quality, and degree. Intelli gibility was the first operative mark of this grand principle, and we could not be intelligible without an application of the rhetoric elements for just articulation and ac tion. The three branches of vocal music, that of the church, of the chamber, and the theatre, though distinct and separate, were, he should show, intimately connected and governed by the same first principle ; they pro ceeded from the same source, though bearing in differ ent directions. His proposed improvement consisted in the application of well-known principles to hitherto untried effects (except in his own practice); for, though the elements of rhetorical delivery had been known from the earliest records, there was no trace in the history of modern music of the practical application of those elements to vocal compositions or perform ances ; although it was proved by traditional facts, that music and oratory amongst the ancient Greeks, were intimately connected and associated. English vocal music was too often regarded as inferior to that of other nations, a fact which did not proceed from any deficiency in the learner, as some imagined, but from the total absence of application of those elementary principles for uniting the component parts of composition—words and music. This deficiency was not equally great amongst foreign singers ; for three of these at least, in modern times, shamed our native singers by their enunciation of English vocal music —he referred to Madame Mara, to Caradori, and to Ma libran. As an old professor, he would boldly assert that there never was a period when the efforts of teachers were so little contributive to the advancement of their pupils or of their own reputation, because they practised the difficul- ties of foreign compo s itio ns w i t h ou t com p re h en ding their meaning, and thus the f a •hi on was se t f or miscallingincon gruity modern taste and good style. A number of illustrations were given by the Lecturer and his pupils, the Misses Brandon, which want of space obliges us to omit a notice of, calling forth frequent bursts of applause from the audience.—Manchester Times. THEATRE-ROYAL GLASGO Mr. CHARLES KEAN.—Last night we bad again the pleasure of seeing this gentleman on the boards of our Theatre-Royal, in his favourite character of Hamlet. Mr. Kean's engagement, we are given to understand, will ex tend to eleven nights, and no more ; but if we might be allowed to hazard an opinion from the way he w as re ceived last night, we would say, that were he to remain here permanently, he would give a tone to,the dramatic taste of our fellow citizens which we are sadly in want of at the present moment, and in his own person create a nucleus on which would concentrate all that arc distinguished—in a local point of view at least—in general literature, the arts, but histrionic excellence in particular. For such, Mr. Kean, as an actor merely, is most a dmirably adapted. With the prestige of Edmund Kean's name, the mantle of the sire sits gracefully on the shoulders of the son. Any man would have envied the feelings with which Mr. Kean must have been animated last night at the enthusiastic reception he met with. It was a scene of striking interest to witness the son standing in the attitude of " proud humility" on the very spot in which his father had achieved so many signal triumphs in the histrionic art. The house was literally crammed in every part long before the curtain drew up, and the appearance of " the observed of all observers" was the signal for a simultaneous burst of enthusiastic cheering and waving of hats and handkerchiefs on the part of the audience, which for a time interrupted the progress of the play. To enter into a formal critique of Mr. Kean's Hamlet would now, we are afraid, be deemed a labour of supererogation, seeing that he is the most per fect . representative of that character at present on the British (we might also add European), stage ; but having a distinct recollection of his first essay in that part here some years ago, we are constrained to confess that his progress towards improvement is allied to the wonderful. In all the essential attributes he is infinitely superior—such as in the reading of the t ext —i n e l ocu ti on — an d es p ec i a lly i n de livery, which is, in grace add chasteness, exceptionless. Glasgow Courier. CORPORATION REFORM. CITY OF LONDON. On Thursday evening there was a meeting of the member s , of the City of London Corporation Reform Society, held at their rooms in the Guildhall Coffee-house, Jam es H an - nen, Esq., in the chair. Mr. W. F. Rock acted as se cretary. Mr. HANNEN had, he said, to remark before comme nc i ng their proceedings, that he had the same information to give them as at former meetings, that the Society was making great progress, and was now in so prosperou s a s it uat i o n that, if they did not get a single member m ore , i t was sufficiently formidable in numbers, in respectability, and in consequence, to go before Parliament, and demand from the Government a redress of the wrongs endured, and the evils suffered by the citizens of this great metropolis from the present Corporation.—(Hear, hear.) It was pain ful to him, from his examination of the City accounts, to be obliged, night after night, to bring before th e So ciety subjects which reflected such disgrace upon the Corporation—a Corporation that ought to be the most liberal and enlightened in the world. The subject he had now to call their attention to was the unworthy con duct pursued by the Corporation upon the visit of her Ma jesty to the City. It was his feeling—it was the feeling of every member of the Society—of every man in Lon don, from the Lord Mayor, he was certain, down to the humblest mechanic, that upon such an occasion as the Queen's visit no proper expenses should be curtailed.— ( Hear, hear.) If that visit had cost, not 9,0001., but 90,0001., no man would object if it were properly and bona fide expended in doing honour to the Queen— ( hear)—but then had they not a just right to be indig nant when they found that the Corporation took the op portunity of spending the citizens' money, not in doing honour to the Queen, but, under that pretence of wasting it in presents to their own officers. And yet this shameful expenditure was sanctioned by their Common Council ; not a word was said against it by the Liberal Common Councilmen, who distinguished themselves by the fervency of their expressions in favour of " civil and religious liberty," and their es.thusiasm for " Reform all over the globe. He wished them to read the following table : LIST OF PRESENTS MADE BY ORDER OF THE COMMON COUNCIL, ON THE OCCASION OF THE QUEEN'S VISIT ON THE 9TH NOVEMBER, AND. CHARGED IN THE GENERAL ACCOUNT OF THE ENTERTAINMENT EXPENSES. X s. d.

Mr. Remembrancer, who pocketed his 5 2 /. 10s. on the same ground, had a sa l ary o f 2,000 / . A s to the clerk of _ the city work s h e did not k now h i s i ncome, but he should like to find it out. The superintendent of the p olice bad a salary of 400!., an d was paid for the duty he did on the occasion. There were, besides, the three marshalmen, the united salaries being 1,396/. It was also worthy of re mark that one man was paid 21/. for taking care of plate, and 257/. for the loan of it. But having exposed in these items their disposition to extravagance, let him next give them a specimen of their unparalleled meanness. They all knew what a benefaetor to the city of London Sir Hugh Myddelton had been.—(Hear.) That illustrious man had done for them what they were unable to accom• plish, aided by three Acts of Parliament—he brought a supply of water to the city. The family of Sir Hugh Myddelton had been reduced tp beggary-. How much did the liberal, the expensive, the feasting, the sump tuous, and the magnificent corporation give to a descendant of Sir Hugh Uyddeiton who was in t~ ant ? He should read the item for them :—" Pen- I sion to Jane Myddelton, a lineal descendant of Sir Hugh Mddleton,:one shtlliug a day --181. 4s."—(Pries of " Oh, not done with the hall-keeper, for it seemed that he was paid 1,800/. "on account of said expenses." But what the " said " referred to be could not understand. But then the Lord Mayor was paid 1001. for not delivering the Session papers ; and one of the Temples, one of the hall-keeper's fimily, was paid 31/. 10s. for delivering them.—(Laughter.) But in all there were 11,6801. ex pended by the hall-keeper, which ought to be disbursed by the Chamberlain alone ; and then, in addition to all, there was 54/. 10s. for Mrs. Temple.—(Hear, hear.) But these were things that were a justification of this So ciety. They certainly were things that required explana tion, and on the part of the public that Society demanded explanation. What they wished was to have reform of the Corporation, and to make it truly great and truly worthy of the city in which it was placed. Mr. THOMAS HARRISON remarked that the Lord Mayor was in every way the occasion of entailing enor mous expenses upon the city. One of those items was very serious—the repairs and furnishing the Mansion house ; and he found that in fifty years there was laid out on these two items a sum that exceeded all that had been expended on the improvements in the city.—(Hear.) Mr. PRITCHARD was not going to be the apologist of the Common Council. A great deal had been said of the police—he had long wished for change and an improve ment in it, and regretted that both had not taken place long before now. The difference between advocates of improved Corporations and those for centralization was, that if the Corporations were good they ought to have the power of appointing the police. As to the expenses en tailed in supporting the Mayor, he thought they were very foolish. Mr. WELLS proposed a resolution to the effect, that it was expedient for the association to examine in detail the several items of expenditure of the Corporation, in order that they might be understood by the electors of the re spective wards previous to St. Thomas's day. Mr. THOMAS opposed the resolution. What they sought for was a reformed Corporation, and that was what was attempted in the plan by the Committee, to which he thought all their attention ought to be devoted. He moved that the plan be taken into consideration. Mr. PHILLIPS seconded the resolution of Mr. Thomas. A GENTLEMAN stated he came there for the purpose of information. He thought they ought to have members of that Association at every wardmote. He said he belonged to the Lord Mayor's ward, which was one of the most cor rupt wards in the city. The resolution of Dir. Thomas was then put and carried unanimously. The Society determined to take the plan of Corporation Reform into consideration next Thursday. The meeting then adjourned. TREATY OF COMMERCE BETWEEN FRANCE AND BELGIUM. His Majesty the King of the Belgians on the one part, and his Majesty the King of the French on the other, animated with an equal desire to facilitate and extend the relations of commerce and navigation between both countries, and convinced that the most certain manner of realising that object is to abate and lower as soon as pos sible the duties which now fall on the respective flags, have resolved to regulate this important matter by a commission, and to this effect have named as their Plenipotentiaries— The King of the Belgians—Charles Joseph Count Lehon, &c., and John Baptiste Smits, Member of the Chamber of Representatives in Belgium ; and the King of the French, Matthew Count Mole, &c., &c. Who after tile usual interchange of powers, &c., have agreed on and concluded the following articles :- 1. There shall be full aid entire liberty of commerce and navigation between the inhabitants of the two king doms. They shall not pay on account of their commerce or industry in the ports, towns, or places whatsoever of the said States where they temporarily or permanently re side, duties, taxes, or imports, under any denomination, greater or other than those levied on the people of said nation, and the privileges, freedoms, and other favours whatsoever, which in matters of trade the citizens of either State enjoy shall be common to the citizens of both. 2. French shipping shall not pay in the ports of Belgium, either on entrance or exit, whatever be the place of their departure or destination, other or higher duties of tonnage, of port, lighthouse, or pilotage, of quara'itine, or the like nature, which are not payable by Belgian ships coming from the same places and going to the same destination. 3. By reciprocity, and until it shall suit Belgium to re- lieve its own shipping of all tonnage duties, as France has done of its shippin g , Belgian vessels, from whatever port they may come, shall pay in France the same tonnage dues which French vessels would have to pay in Belgium, con formably to article No. 2. They shall be otherwise assimi lated to French shipping as respects all duties enumerated in the said article. The exceptions to the national usages which French vessels coming or going elsewhere than to or from Belgium, shall be participated in by Belgian vessels making the same voyage, and this regulation shall be reci procally applied in Belgium to French shipping. 4. Merchandise of every kind which shall be imrortol from Belgium to France under the Belgian flag, shall not pay higher duties of entry than if they were imported un der the French flag. And reciprocally merchandise of all kinds imported from France into Belgium under the French flag, shall not pay other or greater duties than if imported under the Belgian flag. _ _ L. Merchandise of all nations, which shall be exported from Belgium in French bottoms, or from France in Belgian bottoms, for whatever destination it might be, shall not be subject to other fees or formalities of exit, than if it. were exported in national vessels ; and it shall enjoy under either flag the same bounty or drawback which may be given in either country to the national flag. 6. There shall be no other fees paid save those of weigh ing and warehousing on goods imported in the depots fixed in either country for the produce of the other until re-ex ported, or given out for home consumption. 7. French and Belgian shipping may keep on board, while in the ports of either kingdom, such parts of their cargo as is destined for a foreign port, provided that this destination be clearly expressed in the manifest, and according to the obligations imposed by the respective legislatures. 8. The shipping of both States entering into the ports of the other country by distress shall be exempt from all du ties, as well as for the ship as for the cargo, if no commercial operation be made, provided that the necessity for coming into port be fully proved, and they do not remain in port longer than it is necessary to refit. 9. The Consols of both nations shall be at liberty to arrest and send on board, or send home, sailors who may have deserted their national flag. For this purpose they are to address in writing the local competent authorities, and make out, by the production of the registry and the list of the crew, the fact that the sailors belonged to said ships. Upon these proofs being given the demand made cannot be refused. All aid and assistance shall be given to the recovery of the said deserters who are detained in the prisons of the country, at the requisition and at the ex pense of the Consul, until the agents find means to send them home. 10. All operations relative to salvage in French vessels wrecked on the Belgian coast shall be carried on by the Consulates of France, and reciprocally Belgian Consuls shall direct all proceedings taken with regard to salvage on Bel gian vessels wrecked on the French coast. 11. In all that concerns the right of Custom-house and navigation the Two High Contracting Parties promise re ciprocally not to accord any favour, privilege, or immunity to any other State which shall not be on the instant ex tended to their respective subjects gratuitously, if the fa vous be gratuitous to the other State, and on receiving the same compensation or equivalent if the concession has been conditional. - 12. The present convention shall be in vigour during ten 'years from the date of publication, and beyond that term for the space of twelve months, after one or the other of the high contracting parties shall have announced to the other his intention of determining it--each reserving to it self the right to make such declaration at the end of the above-mentioned ten years. And it is agreed upon that after the twelve months of prolongation above -named shall have expired, this convention and its stipulation shall cease and be void. 13. The ratifications of the present convention shall be exchanged at Paris within the space of eight months, or sooner if it so pleases. LEHON. SMITS. MOLE. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. On Tuesday evening the King transacted business with the Minister of Marine, and received the Spanish and Turkish Ambassadors, the Prussian, Bavarian, and Wurtemberg Mi n i s t ers , General Count Pajol, the Count de Portalis, and Admiral Jacob. Yesterday his Majesty received Lord and Lady Burghersh, Marshal Gerard, and the Count de Celles, and at one o'clock held a Council of Ministers. Several Journals gave - the following laconic note of the Minister of the Interior, by which he recently announced to a Sub-Prefect his dismissal from his post :--- 4, Sir--h is with regret that I have to inform. you that the Ki ng , on my recommendation, has aiiposed o f the Sub-Prefectur e which was intrnsted to you. If wish to r e ti re i mmediately, the Prefect is authorized t Q filll up your place. 4.1 MONTALIVET." We do not give much credit to the following, which we find in the ILlqssager :--" The Belgian question is said to be takini the most tAntwara turn in the ,Conference of London. No official act has yet taken place, but an official correspondence has just informed our Cabinet that, in case of the Northern Powers insisting on the complete and en tire maintenance of the Treaty of the Twenty-four Arti cles, the British Cabinet will not oppose them. This de claration has thrown the Ministry into a state of the mos lively anxiety." On the 20th of March, 181.5, 8,000,000 of t francs were due to the Emperor Napoleon for his Civil List, and four more to his family. The wants of the army being pressing at the time, Napoleon and his brothers left the specie in the Exchequer, and took checks to the amount, which were to be paid them out of the pro. ceeds of the sale of the woods of the State. Subs®. quently to the disastrous campain of Waterloo, Louis XVIII. issued an ordinance, four days after his arrival in Paris, declaring the checks null and void, so that the 12,000,000 remained in the Treasury, and are still due to the house of Napoleon and his brothers. The family of Napoleon has impeached, as illegal and unconstitutional, the ordinance in question. The Council of State will have to decide on the merits of the case at the sitting on the 23d instant, which is to be presided over by the Keeper of the Seals. Messrs. Moreau, Galisset, and Ledra Rollin, are to advocate the claim of the Princes.—Commeree. The number of pupils from all parts of France registered between the Ist and 15th of November at the schools of medicine and law of Paris, amounted to 3,ls4.—Commeree. Among the articles sold yesterday, in consequence of the demise of the aeronaut Robertson, was the tain-tam, the melancholy sounds of which produced so universal an effect at the funeral of Mirabeau. This instrument, then almost unknown in France, and which on that memorable occa sion drew tears from the eyes of 200,000 persons, was knocked down fur 650 francs.--Commerce. The Courrier Francais perceives a manifest contradiction in the assertion of the Ministerial press that the King go verns the country, and vet that Ministers are not servile. " If the King governs," says thi s j ourna l, " if h e h as the will to decide and the firmness to execute, what" remains for his Ministers ? If they are neither the head nor the heart of the Government, but mere instruments in the hands of Royalty, in what consists their independence ? A King who governs must necessarily throw his Ministers into shade, and render them mere passive agents. Ministers, ' in their turn, can govern only by resisting the personal in fluence and action of Royalty." The members of the pre sent administration, this journal contends, are indebted for office to the will of the Sovereign, not to the free election of the Parliamentary majority, and therefore cannot be ex pected to display any independence. The Tou/onnais contains the annexed return of the Eu ropean population in the possession of the French in Northern Africa on the 30th of September last, viz.:—At Algiers, 11,059 ; at Oran, 4,395 ; at Bona, 3,031 ; at Bnugeia, 336 ; at Mostaganem, 157 ; in all 18,978 inha bitants, of whom 9,945 were men, 3,958 women, and 5,075 e'lildren. In this number were 7,319 French, 2,155 Eng l'sh, 6,259 Spaniards, 2,070 Italians, 846 Germans, and 29 Grecians, Russians, or Portuguese. The population had increased by 500 or 600 individuals since the 30th of Sept. The Quotidienne considers it highly impolitic in its Mi nisterial Contemporary, the Debats, to allude to the ser vility of a Ministry uncles an absolute Government, or to assert that a despot's will is flattered by his counsellors ; " for, in that case," says the Ligitimist organ, " Napoleon must have met with servile adulation from M. Mole, the head of the present Cabinet, and from M. de Montalivet, the father of his most influential colleague ; and if so, how can it be thought that M. Mole has suddenly con tracted habits of pride and independence at an age at which energy generally becomes enfeebled? Again, how can it be supposed that M. Nlontalivet has deviated from the paternal traditions on the very day after he attributed to Louis Philippe the direction of the present epoch ?" After repelling the charge of servility urged against the Ministers of the old Monarchy in general, the Quotidienne inquires where are the proofs of the independence of the pre sent Cabinet, or where the acts which redound to its credit? "Da they consist," asks the journal, "in having created a rallyin g name for the B ona p art i sts , or h os i ng re stored a de gree of popularity to the Doctrinaires ?" The National dwells with exultation on the progress made through France by the petition in favour cc an elec toral reform—a manifestation of opinion which this Journal considers the more important, as it has been produced by a perfect consciousness of the discredit into which the public powers in France have fallen, " The country," says the National, " has been deeply affected by the scandalous proceedings which have tainted the names of eminent per sonages, and by the rapid progress of corruption that has deprived it of all confidence in an administration which too closely resembles that of Sir Robert Walpole in England. Fatal experience has proved that amidst the venality which is going on in the Electoral Colleges and in the Chambers, it is impossible to find in the machinery of Government, as at present constituted, suf ficient power to check the corruption with which public morals have been pollUted ; and as in the representative system the Government, properly speaking, rests not so much with the executive power and the legislative chambers as with the citizens on whom the constitution confers the right of election, it is natural to ascribe the evil to the electoral law, and to demand its reform." In the Consiitutionnel we find a letter of the 19th inst. fom Bayonne, which states that the Marquis de C who had accompanied the Princess de Beira, and who had been mistaken for the Pope's Legate, had returned from the Court of Don Carlos, and that notwithstanding his le gitimist principles, he made no secret of Isis disgust at the manners of the Prince and his partisar.s, and their politico religious mummeries. The illoniterir publishes a Royal ordinance, dated the '2oth instant, containing 29 articles, whereby the two regi ments of Marines created by the ordinance of the 14th of May, 18:31, arc re-organized, and a third regiment is added. This force is to be call e d Regimens d'lnfantrie de Mare , and are to be distributed at the naval ports and in the co lonies of France. The first and second regiments will amount to 3,649 men each, including the officers, and the third regiment to 3,675 making a total of 10,973 re.en. Each regiment is to have in additian a company, hors rang, including workmen, &c., of 100 men. FRENCH N Pa ate. NOVEMBER 22. Five pert mtg.. 11 'f. 60C. 50c. 60c, rhreo p ,, r Cents. 81f. 70c.

We received to-day the following letter from Warsaw, which acquaints us with the measures the Emperor had thought proper to adopt, after escaping in his capital a pre tended or real conspiracy, of which he means to follow the ramifications in Poland : " WARSAW ' Nov. 4.—A. Government messen ger h av i ng arrived her e from St. Petersburgh, with despatches for Field Marshal Paskiewitch, it was immediately reported that a conspiracy had been discovered in that city, and that several officers of the Imperial Guard had been arrested. The courser was said to be the bearer of a list of other officers who arc to be arrested in Warsaw, and the remain der of Poland, as also of an order to the Field Marshal, in the Emperor's own hand-writing, to repair without delay to St. Petersburgh. Those reports may not be well founded for aught I know ;but, immediately a f ter t h e arr i val of the courier, Lieut.-General Kaisaroff, General Berg, and the Director of the Police of Warsaw, General Storojenko, were sent for by the Field-Marshal, and, at this very mo ment, the Caucasian cavalry, who for some time have done duty as a sort of body guard of Prince Paskiewitch, have been drawn up in all haste on the square in front of the castle where the Governor-General resides. " I communicate to you those facts as they now occur, and commit my letter to the post, not knowing but it may be kept back and opened. .

The Duke will re main in Russia till the celebration of the Emperor's fete day, December the Gth ; after which he will have at tained his majority, and will return to Bavaria, to take possession of his apanages ;but will again go to St. Peters burgh in the spring, when, it is said, the marriage will be solemnized,
